The market for organic aseptic fruit purées continues to grow — not just as a retail trend, but as a long‑term formulation strategy for manufacturers. At AFP (Aseptic Fruit Purées), we are entering a new stage in our organic journey. With USDA Certified Organic Strawberry and Organic Apple already available, we are actively expanding our certified portfolio to bring more organic fruit options to the market.
Organic fruit is no longer a niche category. It is becoming a strategic decision for brands that want to combine transparency, clean‑label positioning, and scalable production alongside a robust natural purée program.
Why Organic Fruit Purées Matter in Today’s Food Industry
Organic fruit plays a critical role in how modern products are developed and positioned. From beverages and juices to frozen desserts and dairy innovations, the demand for certified organic ingredients continues to rise.
Manufacturers are no longer asking whether to use organic fruit — they are asking where and how organic fits into their overall portfolio.
Organic fruit purées provide a way to:
- Meet retailer or private‑label requirements for certified organic SKUs.
- Respond to label‑conscious consumers who look for recognizable standards and seals.
- Future‑proof formulations as clean‑label expectations and regulations evolve.
When a purée carries organic certification, it signals traceability, regulated sourcing, and compliance with well‑defined agricultural and processing standards. This level of control reduces reformulation risk and strengthens brand credibility with buyers and end customers.
What USDA Organic Certification Means for a Fruit Puree
A fruit purée becomes USDA certified organic under the National Organic Program (NOP), which defines how organic fruit must be grown, handled, and processed. These standards cover allowed and prohibited inputs, restrict most synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, prohibit GMOs, and define which processing aids are acceptable.
For a fruit purée, certification typically includes:
- Verified agricultural practices that meet USDA organic production rules.
- Controlled handling, storage, and processing environments that maintain organic status.
- Documented traceability across the supply chain, from orchard to finished ingredient.
- Third‑party audits to confirm ongoing compliance with NOP regulations.
For AFP, adding certified organic fruit purées is an operational commitment, not just a label claim. It complements our existing clean‑label portfolio by offering an option for projects that specifically require USDA Organic certification and documented organic supply chains. For manufacturers, this translates into confidence: when you use certified organic purée, you are incorporating an ingredient backed by audited systems and clear, regulated standards.
Organic Strawberry and Organic Apple: The First Step
AFP’s organic line begins with two foundational flavors designed around real manufacturing needs.
Organic Strawberry – A Retail Anchor Flavor
Our organic strawberry purée is produced aseptically to preserve flavor, color, and natural sweetness without preservatives, added sugar, or water. Strawberry remains one of the most widely accepted fruit profiles across:
- Smoothies and ready‑to‑drink beverages
- Yogurts and cultured dairy
- Plant‑based yogurts and spoonable snacks
- Frozen desserts and novelties
Organic strawberry allows brands to elevate classic products into premium organic offerings while maintaining scalability and production consistency.

Organic Apple – A Strategic Base Ingredient
Our organic apple purée (Golden Delicious variety) plays a foundational role in many formulations. Apple is widely used in juices, beverage blends, and fruit combinations to balance acidity and provide natural sweetness. It also supports multi‑fruit systems in snacks, desserts, and dairy applications.
Because of its versatility, organic apple becomes a strategic tool for brands transitioning into organic portfolios, helping teams:
- Build organic bases for multi‑fruit beverages
- Round out flavor systems with familiar, approachable taste
- Manage cost and complexity while adding certified organic options

Expanding the Organic Fruit Portfolio at AFP
Strawberry and apple represent the beginning — not the limit. Now that AFP holds organic certification, we are actively expanding our portfolio to include additional organic fruit purées.
Future developments may include:
- Tropical profiles such as passion fruit and other high‑impact flavors
- Additional berry varieties like organic raspberry purée
- Other high‑demand fruit categories used in beverages, dairy, frozen desserts, and wellness products
Our expansion strategy is based on real manufacturer demand, production feasibility, and long‑term supply stability. By building our organic portfolio thoughtfully, we ensure that every new certified fruit meets the same standards of consistency, traceability, and performance that customers expect from AFP.
